Balancing Act: The Impact of Work- Family Conflict On Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention Among Married Nurses

Abstract

Turnover often begins with the intention to leave, influenced by various factors. This study aims to investigate the influence of work-family conflict on job satisfaction and turnover intention among married nurses in private hospitals, utilizing resource conservation and role theory frameworks. Data were gathered via questionnaires and interviews from 300 married nurses, selected through proportional random sampling. SMART-PLS analysis revealed that workfamily conflict significantly impacts job satisfaction and turnover intention. Moreover, job satisfaction directly affects turnover intention and partially mediates the relationship between work-family conflict and turnover intention. These findings suggest that role imbalance at work increases the likelihood of nurses considering leaving their jobs, contributing valuable insights to the management literature on these dynamics in hospital settings.
